Each session focuses on a specific topic and invit es guest speakers and team members from both institutions to address the q uestion at hand. After these pitch presentations\, the discussion opens to the public in an informal format\, encouraging active participation. Atte ndees \;are invited to \;pose \;their own \;questions\, en gage with the topic\, and offer different perspectives\, creating a space for meaningful exchange and the emergence of networks within the Luxembour g art community.

This third session will explore the role of collective practices in contemporary art and how they shape artistic pr oduction and collaboration. Why do artists form collectives?

What opportunities exist in Luxembourg for initiatives launched by artistic collectives? The discu ssion will also examine the relationship between the individual and the co llective\, and how artists navigate this dynamic.
